Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for determining the concentration of physiological fluid analytes are provided. The subject systems have a plurality of biosensor devices present on a disposable cartridge. Each biosensor device includes a biosensor and a skin penetration means. In practicing the subject methods, a movement means of the device is used to move each biosensor device in a first direction that provides for penetration of the skin-piercing means into a skin layer followed by movement of the biosensor in a second direction that provides for removal of the skin-piercing means from the skin layer, where this movement profile provides for physiological fluid access and analyte concentration determination by the analyte sensor means. The subject systems, devices and methods for using the same find use in determining the concentration of a variety of different physiological fluid analytes, and are particularly suited for use in detection of physiological fluid glucose concentration. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical communications system using forward error correction (FEC) to correct errors in signals carried by the system. Optical signals on the system are dropped at nodes and converted to electrical signals by avalanche photodiodes (APDs) at the node receivers. An FEC chip operates on the electrical signal to correct errors. The error rate is used to control the APD bias voltage which affects signal noise and therefore error rate. The errors in a predetermined interval are counted and a determination made as to whether the error rate is rising with time. The bias voltage is derived from the value of a counter whose count is incremented each interval. If the error rate is rising, the counting direction is changed.

Abstract: An RF (Radio Frequency) receiving apparatus and method of a mobile communication terminal are disclosed to perform a GPS signal receiving function for a position tracking service. The RF receiving apparatus includes a first CDMA RF matching unit for RF-matching a CDMA signal without a change in a power strength and a second CDMA RF matching unit for RF-matching a CDMA signal while reducing a power strength. When a position tracking service is requested, one of the first CDMA RF matching unit and the second CDMA RF matching unit is selected as an RF matching path of the CDMA signal according to the power strength of the received CDMA signal. Thus, with interference/influence of the CDMA signal minimized, a GPS signal is received and thus a satellite search performance of the mobile communication terminal is enhanced. <IMAGE>
